Launching the 314 Strain
Carrollton, MO--Missouri's newest cannabis brand, CODES, has launched an initial collection of cannabis strains, including the St. Louis-inspired 314 strain.
Focused on local communities and experiences, CODES aims to offer high-quality, terpene-rich strains across Missouri's six area codes.
In addition, the brand intends to release pre-rolls, vapes, and gummies inspired by local flavors this summer.
According to a news release, the 314 strain, available statewide, is known for its refreshing yet relaxing effects, making it ideal for enjoying in the city's parks.
Its aroma and flavor combine sugary sweetness with a hint of diesel, reflecting the classic St. Louis spirit.
"The CODES brand is all about shared experiences, including the love for great cannabis," said Ray Boyer, founding member of CODES, as per the report.
"CODES brings together several Missouri cannabis operators and visionaries with a shared goal of providing the highest-quality cannabis specifically curated for Missourians, Boyer added. "We look forward to offering an array of products that celebrate Missouri's unique culture."
Empowering Local Communities
The company aims to empower local communities to unlock their potential through cannabis.
In celebration of its first product launch, CODES has donated to St. Louis-based charity The Housing Partnership, which aims to create a healthy and economically sustainable living environment for families in the area.
CODES' sativa, indica, and hybrid strains, including the 314 strain, will be available in dispensaries throughout the state, such as Organic Remedies, Coco, and Good Day Farm, focusing on the St. Louis area.
What We Think
The launch of CODES is a refreshing twist in Missouri's cannabis scene, melding local culture into a product that speaks to Missourians' pride. The upcoming expansion into diverse cannabis products promises to cater to varied tastes while potentially spurring economic growth.
Commendably, CODES isn't just about profit; their community-focused approach, exemplified by the donation to The Housing Partnership, is setting a high bar for social corporate responsibility in the cannabis industry.
We're optimistic that CODES’ collaborative model and dedication to quality will not only win over consumers but also make a lasting, positive impact on Missouri's communities.
It's a brand that understands the importance of giving back and growing together. We'll be watching CODES with interest as it cultivates a new era of cannabis culture in the state.
